I have lived in many different places both in the UK and worldwide which has added to my interest in people, their experiences and their reactions.  I have had a varied career prior to working in counselling including working in commercial and entertainment environments in different geographical locations. Since qualifying in counselling in 2010 I have worked as a counsellor in many settings including a hospice; a charity working with people in vulnerable housing; GP surgeries; a university and with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I continue to work at a University with the students there which I find a healthy counterweight to my private practice.  I have found that people often defy definition and that sometimes one trigger leads to a need to focus on issues which have not been considered for many years.

My core counselling training was in Psychodynamic therapy with a humanistic perspective meaning that I approach each person with a compassionate curiosity about how they work and how they have developed into the person that they are.
